The problem

Agencies rarely lose bookings on price. They lose them on slow replies.

Nothing dramatic. A reply that came the next morning, a quote nobody followed up, and a question about gratuities your team has already answered four hundred times this season.

The first agency to reply usually wins

Travellers message several agencies at once. A reply the next morning is often a reply to someone who has already booked elsewhere.

Every enquiry gets a useful answer within seconds, including at night, at weekends and across time zones.

Agents answer the same questions all day

What's included, are gratuities extra, can the kids share, which port. Skilled consultants spend hours on questions that have one correct answer.

The AI answers the repeat questions from your own material and hands over the conversations that need expertise.

Customer chats live on personal phones

When an agent is off or leaves, their conversations and leads go with them. Managers can't see what was promised.

One shared WhatsApp inbox on your official business number, with every conversation assigned and searchable.

Quotes and balances depend on memory

Quotes go unanswered because nobody followed up. Final balance dates slip because the reminder was in a spreadsheet.

Follow-ups and payment reminders go out on schedule and stop the moment the customer replies or pays.

Building this in-house takes months

Meta verification, template approvals, delivery queues, webhooks, retries and rate limits are serious engineering before the first message goes out.

The infrastructure is already built and running. We set it up for you and keep it running.

Email campaigns are easy to ignore

Open rates keep falling and paid acquisition keeps getting more expensive, so reaching your own past guests costs more every season.

Campaigns on WhatsApp to guests who opted in, segmented by region, ship or month, with replies that turn into conversations.

What you can do with it

Every kind of WhatsApp message your business needs, on one platform

Marketing, utility, authentication, customer service, bookings and payments. These are the categories WhatsApp itself uses, and each one is billed differently, which is why we price per message.

How a conversation flows

One message in. The right outcome out.

Whether a guest taps an ad, messages from your website or a booking changes in your system, it goes through the same pipeline and comes out answered, handed over, paid or recorded.

How it works

From a 30-minute meeting to a live WhatsApp setup

You don't get a login and a help centre link. We work out what you need, agree a price, build it with you and hand over something that already works.

  1. 01

    30 minutes

    Book a meeting

    We talk through how enquiries reach you today, which markets you sell to, and what you would want WhatsApp to handle. No slides, just questions about your business.

  2. 02

    Within 2 working days

    Get a proposal

    You get a written proposal with the use cases we would build first, the per-message rates for your countries, the infrastructure fee and a timeline.

  3. 03

    1 to 3 weeks

    We build it

    Meta verification, number setup, template approvals, AI training on your fares and policies, and integrations with your CRM, booking system and payment provider. You test everything before it goes live.

  4. 04

    Ongoing

    Go live and improve

    The agent starts answering from day one. We watch the first weeks closely, adjust the flows to what customers actually ask, and add new use cases as you're ready.

What changes

The details differ by business. A cruise agency watches quote conversion and balances, a hotel watches direct bookings.

We are the infrastructure

The engineering team you'd otherwise have to hire

Doing WhatsApp properly isn't one integration. It's Meta verification, template approvals in several languages, delivery queues, retries, webhooks, rate limits and monitoring across countries. We've built all of it and we run it for you.

Official API, handled end to end

Meta Business verification, number registration, display name and template approvals, all done by our team.

Delivery that doesn't drop messages

Queues, automatic retries, webhook recovery and rate-limit handling, so a Wave season campaign doesn't lose messages.

Integrations built for you

Your CRM, booking system, payment provider and internal tools, connected during setup.

AI trained on your business

Your fares, policies and past questions become the agent's knowledge, with handover to a person when it is unsure.

Multi-country, multi-language

Templates approved in each language you need, and messages scheduled in each recipient's local time.

Monitoring and reporting

We watch delivery rates, quality ratings and failures, and you see what was sent, read, replied to and what it cost.

Pricing

You pay per message, plus the infrastructure behind it

WhatsApp charges differently for every country and every type of message, and no two agencies send the same mix. So we don't publish a rate card. We meet, look at your markets and volume, and give you a clear proposal.

Part one

Per-message rate

Part two

Infrastructure fee
